What is 'after hours' to a zoo employee anyway?? LOL

Most keepers work 7-4, so 5 is "after hours". I was one of the few keepers still there, and of course the night keepers.Public relations and other visitor services are there late too. You must understand that no one could have expected that an animal would escape from an exhibit that it has lived in for years. There is still no evidence that he ever crossed the perimeter! (no broken vegetation, footprints, or anything) Did he suddenly sprout wings and fly out?!
